| I just bought a ducati daivel 2012 and while driving the rear brakes locked, i almost went through traffic without brakes then flaming brake parts of the bike flew off and melted in the street. then brake fluid sprayed all over the back of the bike. the rotors were scared and there were chips of the bike on the rear wheel. brake fluid spayed everywhere and there was complete loss of brake pressure and the peddle was in a 5 o'clock position. the bike dropped because i was startled and gripped the front brake. i had to ride home with only the front brakes. i have a picture of the brake pad melted into the asphalt of the street. | |||
